Hi everyone. My first post. I bought a '74 Slickcraft 235 with a Chevy 305 and OMC Electric shift stern drive only to find that the left side of the housing (I think that's what it is called) where the teeth are for raising and lowering of the drive, failed. Broken off and on the ground. The local repair shop is telling me to find a replacement or convert to Merc.
I would like to know:
What the parts of the housing are called so I can talk intelligently about it.
How available are these housings to purchase?
How feasible is switching to a Merc system keeping the chevy 305?
I currently don't have serial numbers but if this post gets traction, I will have the shop get them for me.
My budget for this is about 3k.
Thanks!
